The post-translational modifications of thegag-raffusion proteins of the 3611 murine sarcoma virus (MSV) have been examined by inhibiting glycosylation with tunicamycin and byin vivolabeling with [3H]myristic acid. The results show that P75gag-rafis myristylated but not glycosylated and that P90gag-rafis glycosylated but not myristylated (and is now termed gp90gag-raf). gP90gag-rafexpression appeared to become lost during passage of the transformed cells, and consequently does not appear to be necessary for the maintenance of transformation.raf-specific sera for detectinggag-raffusion proteins have been obtained from synthetic peptides made from different regions of the predicted v-rafsequence. Immunoprecipitation of P75gag-rafwithraf-specific sera directly confirmed the deduced v-rafsequence. The fact that P759gag-rafis both myristylated and precipitated by antiserum to a predicted carboxyl-terminal peptide of the v-rafgene established that the mature protein represents the entire coding region. The gP90gag-rafthus appears to be a glycosylated form of P75gag-rafspecified by thegagsequences of the fusion protein, in analogy with Pr65gagand gPr80gagof murine leukemia viruses. Antiserum to the carboxyl-terminal P75gag-rafpeptide was the most efficient in immunoprecipitation, and will be useful for detecting the product of the c-rafgene.
